Ha! The OP here ... mystery solved!
Turns out my LGS screwed up when listing the gun on their web site ... it wasn't a 28-2 ... it was a
27-2.
Needless to say, it came home with me.
Been wanting a 27-2 for a while. Have a 27-3, which shoots like a dream. Now the search begins for a 27-1 ...
Thanks for all of the replies.
